The Hearth & Hound

"Closed at the top of the year, ending an up-and-down saga for celebrated chef April Bloomfield." - Eater Staff

"One of Hollywood’s most prominent restaurant spaces comes back to life very soon. Months after the unceremonious closing of April Bloomfield’s beleaguered Hearth & Hound on Sunset, Superba Food + Bread announces it will take over the iconic Hollywood restaurant." - Farley Elliott

"Chef April Bloomfield has closed her Hollywood restaurant Hearth & Hound after just over a year in the city. Despite tons of hype, the restaurant was troubled almost from the start; six days after it opened, owner and restaurateur Ken Friedman was accused of sexual misconduct at New York City restaurants like the Spotted Pig. He stepped away from day-to-day management, and by June 2018, Friedman and Bloomfield split their empire so that she would keep the spots in LA, where she moved." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

"Hearth & Hound got hit with a major scandal late last year and never seemed to recover, though it’s still hanging on miraculously after April Bloomfield bought out Ken Friedman. I’m hoping it can rebound and develop a following in the neighborhood because that space is really wonderful." - Matthew Kang

"Bloomfield will own and fully control the restaurant group’s West Coast properties, SF’s Tosca Cafe and LA’s Hearth & Hound." - Ellen Fort
